Snakes Sizing You Up

This post came up in my Facebook Feed. It is completely false by the way.

While this is a nice story with a lesson not to be so trusting, snakes actually sizing people up isn't a thing.

"Snakes base their food choices on what they can overpower and subdue rather than what they can measure. They’re more likely to strike at prey they are familiar with and have successfully eaten before. Pet snakes in captivity are accustomed to being fed a diet of rats or mice, not humans."
